David Carradine's Widow Suing Film Company for Husband's Death

'Kill Bill' star David Carradine died exactly one year ago today -- and his wife Anne Carradine thinks the production company of the movie he was filming at the time is to blame, according to TMZ, who obtained a copy of the lawsuit. Carradine was in Bangkok filming 'Stretch' when he was found dead in a closet in his hotel room.

According to the documents, Carradine, 72, was supposed to meet the director of the movie for dinner. The actor was assigned an assistant, who was responsible for his schedule and transportation.

When the assistant called Carradine to pick him up for dinner, the actor didn't answer and the assistant left for dinner without him. When Carradine finally reached the assistant an hour later, he was told, "They were already across town and ... [he] would have to make his own arrangements that evening."

In the wrongful-death lawsuit filed against French production company MS2 S.A., Anne Carradine states that her husband would not have died if the company had provided him with "all the best amenities" and "sufficient assistance" while in Bangkok.

A medical examiner hired by the family performed a private autopsy last year and ruled Carradine's official cause of death was accidental asphyxiation.

My wife is from Thailand and the story omn the streets there was he ordered up a couple of hookers. When they arrived they turned out to be Lady Boys. Caradine was not satisfied with them, a fight ensued and they killed him, then made it look like a suicide in the closet. Who knows what the real story is. The wife should have hired a private investigator in Thailand and maybe she could have a law suit against the hotel.
